"All you have to do is win"
Samsung Lions catcher Kang Min-ho made a hot pledge to win. "Mother company" Samsung promised to provide support at the company level.
The KBO held the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Media Day & Fanfest at Lotte Hotel World in Seoul on Tuesday. Coaches and representative players from 10 different clubs participated in the event.
We can't forget our victory pledge. "We will tour Lotte World with our fans," said Jeon Jun-woo of the Lotte Giants.
Kang Min-ho must have been conscious of Jeon Joon-woo, revealing his unexpected pledge. "My goal this year is to win the title of course," Kang said. "If Samsung wins, I will invite 1,000 players and fans who are on the Korean Series roster for a one-day date."
They sometimes make election pledges to boost the mood of "Gag dream Media Day." However, Samsung was serious. Kang Min-ho said, "I also made an appointment with my boss."
Everland immediately responded. Citing Kang Min-ho, Everland posted a message on its SNS account on the 21st, "The gift of Samsung Lions' victory pledge for this season will be paid by Everland, which is Dae/Han/Min/guk/Choi/Go/Ui/Ui/Nol/Dong/San!!"
He then wrote in the comments, "We'll buy Everland, so we just need to win."
Samsung last won the championship in 2014. From 2011 to 2014, it won an unprecedented four consecutive championships, boasting the prowess of the strongest team in the KBO League. However, the team underwent a dark period due to the combination of aging and incidents and accidents. It jumped to second place in the regular season last year, and was unfortunately defeated by the KIA Tigers at the threshold of the Korean Series.
Now, Samsung is aiming for its first win in 11 years. It is said that it has achieved its goal. First, it has a golden lineup consisting of Ariel Furado, Denny Reyes, Won Tae-in, Choi Won-tae and left-hander Lee Seung-hyun. Reyes and Won Tae-in will join the team at the end of March due to injury. Veteran Baek Jung-hyun and right-hander Kim Dae-ho will fill the vacancy. The lineup also continues to rise to the top in home runs (185) last year. 먹튀검증
The addition of super rookie Bae Chan-seung is another positive development. Bae is a left-handed local boy who posted fastballs of up to 152 km/h during his high school years. He displayed potential from the spring camp, and was named the spring camp MVP. Manager Park Jin-man said, "There is no need to explain," expressing joy. The ERA of left-handed pitchers for Samsung was 6.07, the highest in the league last season. It is expected that Bae will relieve his thirst for the left-handed bullpen.
Samsung will mark the 2025 season against the Kiwoom Heroes at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Tuesday. Furado and Kenny Rosenberg will have showdowns as starters. Will Samsung be able to make memories with fans at Everland this year.
